Abstract excerpt
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PD) is the first enzyme of the pentose phosphate pathway and has been extensively investigated. Several variants of G-6-PD were encountered in different regions of Saudi Arabia during an extensive screening programme. A modified rapid isoelectric focussing procedure using LKB Ampholine PAG plates (pH 5.5-8.5) was used to separate the isoenzymes of G-6-PD. G-6-PD-B+ (the...
